BokuAka Fic Recs Part 1

BokuAka fic recs part 1

Dear @mistermrbee I’ve been waiting, this is my moment in the sun I proudly present a short list of fics that will make you love BokuAka even more:

Canonverse:

arrogant boy, love yourself so no one has to by earlygrey_ milktea

Bokuto Koutarou, contrary to popular belief, is the family disappointment.

One of my favs, Bokuto’s POV, angsty but worth it

Broken China by Looali

Akaashi Keiji owns a very special set of mugs. To the common eye, they would just be a normal set, practical and decorated with a cute owl design. Something he uses for his tea during morning practice and lunch, kept carefully wrapped up in kitchen roll until he needs it. For Fukurodani boys Volleyball team however, Akaashi Keiji’s mugs were life savers.

Adorable, truly adorable

Again and Again and Again by zinniapetals

“Step up your game Bokuto, use the L-word.”

“Lesbian?”

“The other L-word.”

“Lesbians?”

Bokuto has a really hard time conveying his feeling for Akaashi. Kuroo suffers

99 Days of Dating Bokuto Koutarou by carxies

Akaashi has never even considered being in relationship. His life is school, volleyball and extra practices late in the afternoon. When he gives it a second thought, Bokuto plays a role in all of these things.

Pining, denial and pining again. 10/10 would recommend

A Logical Chain of Illogical Events by mismatched_ideas

It was only logical that Akaashi wasn’t a starter his first year of high school. He didn’t expect to be. He was just happy to have been accepted to a school that was not only a volleyball powerhouse but also an academic one. He played in a handful of practice matches near the end of the year and during the Tokyo finals at the end of the year, he’d been the backup setter, which was impressive given his age.

But there wasn’t a single thing that was more surprising than the attention he received from a certain second year.

A very nice and convincing backstory for our favourite owls.

The Chocolatier’s Widsom by Scrbhneoir for darumarina

Akaashi could just do it now, not a thought for the others around him. Everyone was already heading for the showers now anyway, he could probably keep Bokuto an extra minute to do the confession and get it over with - “Boys shouldn’t give other boys chocolates on Valentine’s.”

- Akaashi lowered the chocolate back into the bag.

Obligatory Valentine’s Day fic, very well-written.

Year-Round Love by masi

In his first year of university, Bokuto realizes that he really adores Akaashi.

Future fic where Bokuto finally gets it

third wheel by arsenicjay

“So you and Bokuto, huh?”

Akaashi’s attention snaps back to Kuroo and he gives the other boy a blank stare. “What about us?”

Or, Kuroo figures out that Bokuto is interested in Akaashi long before Bokuto does himself and being the kind friend that he is, tries to help them along.

This one is simply great and I think I’ve read it like 10 times. Kuroo here wins everything.

stating the obvious by ThinkingCAPSLOCK

There’s a lot of things Bokuto isn’t sure about now that he’s in university. His program, his new team, his future. There’s only one thing he’s absolutely sure of. He is not dating Akaashi Keiji. Not even a little bit.

Sure, Bokuto, sure.

AUs:

keep making trouble (til you find what you love) by Heronfem

Appearances aren’t always what they seem.

In which Bokuto is the family disappointment and does his best despite his struggles, Akaashi has an enormous crush and wants to help, and they fall end over end in love surrounded by a shower of owl and vulture feathers.

Wingfic, really lovely, though a bit sad.With a happy ending, though!

That Baby Does Not Belong to You (But It Could) by multifascinate (talkativelock)

“You named the baby?”

Bokuto pouts again. “No, he came with this.”

Keiji takes the note Bokuto offers him. It’s written in an unfamiliar slanting script on a slightly crumpled piece of paper with a safety pin through it that Keiji assumes was used to afix it to the outside of the baby’s blanket.

“My name is Hinata Shouyou,” he reads, “I am not lost, just looking for someone to be my parents. Please treat me kindly.”

In which Bokuto has an early midlife crisis because of a baby and Keiji has both a headache and a crush.

Adorable kidfic. They are all so precious here.

cat and kid by norio

Kenma doesn’t mind if Akaashi talks on his phone. After all, owning a cat like Bokuto-san must cause Akaashi a lot of difficulty.

Kenma and Akaashi work together and Kenma observes Akaashi’s phone conversations. Hilarious

Star Catcher by yozra

Keiji is a catcher of wishing stars, and one day a very strange one lands straight into his arms.

Lovely, fairy-tale like story, a bit like The Little Prince in my opinion. 

The Siren and The Blacksmith by theauthorish

There was a man walking along the shore, just then. Even from afar, Keiji could see the tired slump to his body and the weary heaviness of his steps.

Keiji opened his mouth and began to sing.

Siren!Au written like a fairytale of old, it’s great and romantic and I couldn’t stop reading.

Heaven’s a Heartbreak Away by The_Marron 

It was Kuroo’s fault. It was nothing new in Bokuto’s life, really, because most of the stupid, life-threatening and awesome things that happened to him were in some degree Kuroo’s fault, but still, this was definitely Kuroo’s fault.

Or, Bokuto gets roped into a dancing show and does not fall for his partner. He does fall for somebody else, though.

- shameless self-promo, you can ignore it, but I couldn’t resist.

This are good beginner thinks, in my opinion. If you are interested in angst, dark themes and very strange aus, do let me know, I will prepare a second list :) Glad yo welcome you in the fandom and let me know if you liked the fics!
